1. An aerosol generating device comprising:
a storage tank configured to store an aerosol generating material;
a compressed air generator configured to generate compressed air;
a nozzle including an inlet end through which compressed air flows in and an outlet end through which the compressed air flows out; and
an extension flow path extending from the nozzle and surrounding at least part of the storage tank,
wherein the aerosol generating material stored in the storage tank is atomized into an aerosol by colliding with the compressed air discharged from the outlet end of the nozzle, and
wherein the extension flow path pressurizes the aerosol generating material in the storage tank by discharging the compressed air.
